Michele Lee

Michele Lee is a multiple award-winning Hmong-Australian writer for stage, screen, audio and live art. Across her
work, she aims to centre the stories of those historically on the margins—women, people of colour, poor people and
working-class people, and people from her community, the Hmong. Selected theatre credits include: HOW DO I LET
YOU DIE? (2023); SECURITY (2022); RICE (2026, 2022, 2021, 2017) and GOING DOWN (2018). Michele is under
commission from Griffin Theatre and Melbourne Theatre Company and her latest work, THESE OTHER THINGS,
premiered in May 2025, commissioned and presented by RMIT Culture. She was a recipient of the prestigious Sidney
Myer Creative Fellowship (2022-23) in recognition of her body of work. She regularly mentors and guest lectures,
including for Australian Plays Transform, Australian Theatre for Young People, Canberra Theatre Centre, Shopfront
Theatre, Theatre Works, Victorian College of the Arts and The Wheeler Centre.
